Promoting the Pillars of Character
Students in Michael Maletta’s seventh-grade health class have been
learning about the six pillars of character – trustworthiness, respect,
responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship – and were assigned to
create posters to promote the positive and negative aspects of each
pillar.
“They are learning that these core ethical values are essential in
helping them to think before they act,” Mr. Maletta said, “and to
reinforce that they are responsible and accountable for their choices.”
